Structural basis of transmembrane coupling of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein

HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) mediates the fusion of viral and target cell membranes and is a major target for HIV vaccine development. Here, the authors determine the NMR structure of a bicelle incorporated Env segment comprising the transmembrane domain (TMD) and a portion of the cytoplasmic t...
